Part 3 - Balduran Island (South)

Quest Giver and Location: Kaishas Gan (large building north of your arrival point).
Goal of Quest: Rid the island of the wolf beasts led by Karoug.
Solution Location: Karoug and his band are holed up in the remains of Balduran's ship, which is in the northeast corner of the territory immediately north.
Solution Explanation: You'll need silver or gold weapons or weapons that work against shapechangers to take out Karoug, but you can find what you need in the lair. The quarters are cramped and it's impossible to keep your weaker armed party members protected for long, so only send a couple heavily armed fighters (who have been hasted, protected from evil, chanted, etc. and have taken potions of giant strength, heroism, etc.) and use them to clean out each level. If they need reinforcements, you can either retreat for healing or send reinforcements.
Reward: None directly.

Quest Giver and Location: Delainy (north of house of Kaishas)
Goal of Quest: Retrieve her cloak.
Solution Location: The cloak was picked up by the mage Dradeel and is in a chest in his shack in the northern part of the island.
Solution Explanation: You can take the cloak from Dradeel's locked chest at any time, but to be polite you might want to wait until Dradeel leaves after you complete his quest.
Reward: None. If you're polite to her, she'll give you another quest to retrieve flowers, which you can also find at Dradeel's house.

Quest Giver and Location: Maralee (near the fire south of Kaishas)
Goal of Quest: Rescue her baby.
Solution Location: The baby is in the hands of Karoug and his mate, in the lair on the northern side of the island.
Solution Explanation: See the strategy tips set out above for the quest initiated by Kaishas.
Reward: 4,000 xp. Maralee will also later come to your aid and show you the way to the ship.

The apparently peaceful settlement in the southern portion of Balduran's Island. The house of Kaishas is in the middle of the compound.

Quest Giver and Location: Evalt (fishing, west of your arrival point)
Goal of Quest: Track down his brother.
Solution Location: His brother has been killed by the Sirine Queen, who resides on the west coast of the northern side of the island.
Solution Explanation: The Sirine Queen will tell you that Evalt's brother forced himself on her. If you believe her, you can avoid a fight and take his body back. If you want to get the additional experience points for fighting her, make sure your party is poised to attack quickly to take her out before she can dire charm party members or harm them with her arrows of biting.
Reward: 2,000 xp for returning the body. An extra 900 xp for avoiding a fight

Quest Giver and Location: Farthing (just north of Evalt)
Goal of Quest: Return her doll.
Solution Location: Her doll is in the hands of Palin, who is in the southwest corner of the northern side of the island.
Solution Explanation: Palin will try to lure you into a trap when you meet her, as her mate, as she and her mate, Jondal, who waits nearby, are both wolfweres. Try to keep your distance initially and take them out one at a time with missile weapons. If they reach your party members, make sure it's only your heavily armored fighters that get within the reach of their claws.
Reward: None
